AMAZING!! HEALTHY!! ENJOY girls!!
- 1 ¼ cups chicken broth, fat free less sodium
- 5.7 ounce uncooked couscous, 1 box
- 1 ½ cups chicken, COOKED, cubed (I use rotisserie sometimes)

- ½ cup radishes, about 3 large, diced
- ½ cup cucumber, chopped seeded peeled
- ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped, fresh
- DRESSING:
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Preparation
To prepare salad, bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Spoon couscous into a large bowl; cool slightly. Add chicken, onions, radishes, cucumber, parsley, and pine nuts; toss gently to combine.
To prepare dressing, combine vinegar and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss to combine.
Note: You can toast nuts quickly in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Stir frequently, and as soon as they become fragrant, remove the nuts from the pan.
